Pros: This is my first SSD. I've been waiting on price to come down and bugs to be worked out. The price for the one day sale on this one along with its rating led me to purchase. Though I had to study up and learn a few things about SSDs vs HDs it was worth it for the speed increase.

Cons: For me the only con was putting in the time to learn how to switch to SSD without a clean Windows install.

Overall Review: If you are new to SSDs like me take the time to read up on them. You need to know things like alignment if you are going to clone and not install Win 7 or newer from scratch. I used EASUS and GParted to clone and align the drive. Also, optimize your source drive before you clone.

Pros: Looks well made. Plenty of fan headers. Layout is good. The various LEDs are a nice touch but I'd rather have more USB headers. Love the idea of a removable Bios chip though I don't know if it will ever benefit me. It is very easy to get in touch with tech support 24/7 most of the year. The two I talked to were very easy to talk with and were patient while I tried different options. I went with 3 eggs because the support is good. However, they don't always have the answer to the problem at hand. With experience I'm sure that will change.

Cons: Cover for the I/O panel will not fit with a video card in PCIe slot one. Took hours of trying Bios settings and looking at internet solutions and two calls to tech support to try to get the Bios to recognize the Samsung 950 pro. I even flashed the Bios to the latest version. Eventually, somehow, I hit the right combo of legacy, UEFI, and other settings correctly. Then there is of course as others bring up there are not enough USB headers. I wouldn't care if it had all USB 3.0s if there were enough of them. But only one with no 2.0s? At least if it had 3 USB 3.0s i could use a 3.0 to 2.0 adapter cable. As it is I had to order a PCIe add in card with two internal USB 3.0 headers and buy the adapter cable to 2.0 to get all the front case panel USBs working. It has several annoying beeps at first start. I thought they were errors but tech support says it is normal and it does run normally once I got it to recognize the 950 Pro. What happened to the single beep we are used to? Needs a better Bios to recognize NVMe drives in the on-board M.2 slot. One USB 3.0 headers is just a major cut on a board that would otherwise be very good.

Overall Review: At this point if you want an EVGa motherboard buy the Classified version. Keep in mind it only has 2 USB 3.0 connectors. If I could do it over I would have gotten an Asus board. If the issues I named are fixed this would be a great board. It is running stable right now. I know EVGA reads these posts. I do believe they will get the issues resolved on the next version.

Pros: It's a NAS Western Digital. Works just as expected.

Overall Review: Using as a backup drive and works as expected.

Pros: It works fine with the Ryzen 5 7600 I paired it with.

Cons: None

Overall Review: It works fine with the Ryzen 5 7600 I paired it with.

Pros: The board had everything I needed functionally.

Cons: It only has one usb 3.0 connector for the front panel. That would usually be enough but I added a card reader in a drive bay that happens to use a usb 3.0 connector. Fixed it with a splitter pigtail.

Overall Review: Since I'm not building a gaming rig this MB will work fine with the Ryzen 5 7600 and 16gb of DDR 5. It has three M.2 slots and four SATA ports. It also has three PCIe slots with one at 16x for a graphics card. It has plenty of fan connectors as well as one for AIO use. Plenty of upgrade paths.

Pros: It seems to be a quick processor. It's my first time using AMD for over 10 years. I'm impressed with it. It runs on par with or a little quicker than my other PC with an Intel 12600K.

Cons: It's not a 9600X

Overall Review: I settled for this processor with prices being so high. Building a PC for my son and it seems to be fast enough to do what we need. I would have preferred to get the Ryzen 5 9600 but I got this 7600 at a good discount. I think it will be adequate.
